Question: | |
When I have sex, I feel penetration, but I do not feel any pleasure from it. My body lubricates, but there is no sensation. I have been masturbating since I was nine, I am now twenty-four, and when I touch myself (finger on clitoris) I am able to feel a sensation, and then an orgasm, however, if I were to insert anything into the Vaginal area, I am not able to feel anything. I don't know what's wrong.

Dear Elizabeth,
I wonder if there's been a change in your vaginal sensivity, or whether you're just commenting on something that has always been for you? You describe being aroused (lubricating), having pleasure with clitoral stimulation, and orgasm -- all good things. Most women don't realize that the inner 2/3 of the vagina responds to sensations of pressure but is not especially sensitive to touch. When you have a pelvic exam and the doctor takes a pap smear you might remember that you can't really feel things with specificity. This is just how we're built! It works well during labor and delivery -- a time you'd prefer less vaginal sensation! If you still have concerns, speak to your OB-GYN the next time you have your yearly exam to rule out neurological or hormonal contributants. If all checks out, I'd relax and enjoy.
